Green RFID Systems EuMA High Frequency Technologies Series

Combining cutting-edge technologies and techniques with existing approaches, this book equips you with the tools and knowledge needed to develop new energy-efficient and environmentally friendly RFID systems. As well as covering RFID basics, a wide range of new technologies is discussed, including biodegradable and recyclable material use, energy scavenging, passive and chipless architectures, RFID passive sensors, networked RFID and RFID sensors, organic electronic devices, textile electronics, and distributed and wide area electronics. Providing a clear description of how RFID technology can enable the evolution of the Internet of Things, the book guides you down the path to facing new challenges as we move towards ubiquitous sensing for smart environments and a networked society. This is an ideal guide for researchers in academia and industry, technical managers, and graduate students in RF and wireless communications.

Luca Roselli is a Professor of Applied Electronics at the University of Perugia, Italy, where he has been working since 1991. His research interests focus on the design of high frequency electronic circuits and systems, including the development of numerical methods for electronic circuit analyses and new material electronics. He has published more than 200 papers and founded two companies (WiS Srl and DiES Srl) in this field. He is strongly involved in MTT-S activity, participating in several MTT Technical Committees (RFID – past chair, RF nanotechnologies, Wireless Power Transfer), organizing the first Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC 2013) and being reviewer of several reviews and peer reviewed conferences. He is also member of the ERC panel.
